I've a running 1935 engine and box I'm proposing to lend my godson to get his special build "over the line".
We think his chassis is a 1932, originally with coil engine and a 3 speed box, but are willing to be corrected.
He currently has a magneto engine and 3 speed box in and they fit nicely. The project has been ongoing a while (11 years, since he was 11) but his dad remembers them trying a four speed box and running into clearance issues with the cross member.
Q1 - Is a three speed box in a smaller case than a four speed?
Q2 - Is a 1932 cross member taller than 1935?
Q3 - Is there a "well known fix" such as mounting the engine half an inch higher or something?
Q4 - Other than sourcing a prop and/or a converter to connect my box to his axle (he's on that) are there any other obvious "gotchas"?
